Hawker/Bates/@javier_read groups at ACS Fall! 🧪

Congrats to #ACSF2023 PMSE Graduate Student Travel Award Winner, Elizabeth Murphy, UCSB, Advisors:  Professor Craig Hawker and Professor Christopher Bates, Talk: Wednesday, August 16, 2:00 PM, Marriott Marquis, Salon 10 American Chemical Society UC Santa Barbara

Good example of a cross-lab collaboration spearheaded by a graduate student and post-doc at UCSB. Great job!

Extremely happy to share our approach to the implementation of life-like features to polymersomes Nature Chemistry. We induced 'metabolite' oscillations in response to light intensity producing non-equilibrium 'homeostasis' Imperial Materials

Great work!

Excited to share my first paper at Craig J. Hawker, FRS on JACS. Many many thanks to the collaborators and co-authors.

This is an excellent addition to the BCP chromatography separation project - Thanks for your hard work and congratulations on your first first-author paper Elizabeth! Elizabeth Murphy

Excited to see my first first-author paper out! Check out our work on exploring 🔤 triblock phase space with automated chromatography 👩🏼‍🔬 pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

What a great application of ketene chemistry! (an area very close to my heart from my time in Craig J. Hawker, FRS) So many possibilities here in chemical biology & beyond...

Great opportunity to come to UCSB!

Great review and perspective written by our group and collaborators in Ireland. Hopes this sparks more interest in peptides as printable biocompatible feedstock.

As a chemical biologist-turned polymer chemist, I was late to meet Bob in person. It was 2016 ACS meeting in SD, and he was looking for a table to sit down for lunch. We ended up having a 15 min chat about my work w/Craig J. Hawker, FRS at my table. A memory I will never forget.
